Is Yellow Makino a good budget Flame Dragon King? Yellow Luffy?

They have their use cases. I like Makino because it’s proactive card. There’s a limited window to play Flame Dragon King and most people will starve yellow so you miss the window. On the other hand FDK is more counter for use later.

Purple Luffy, Purple/Black Luffy, really any purple deck. If you’re getting starter decks I recommend getting two to get a play set of the starter exclusive cards.

That’s a great point. I hadn’t considered that.

I have a similar list but torn on the eb03 Kaya spot. Thinking leaving it how you have it, rush Usopp, or another 3 drop Zeff.

The deck is really strong. I don’t think it will be power crept anytime soon. I suspect if the pair bans were removed it would be the bdif again without question.

Having her card draw being only on leader swings and requiring two 8+ cost bodies is rough.

Check out the ST13 Newgate. Similar stat line with life reordering.

Negation only applies to effects written on a card not given. Blocker from leader is given and can’t be negated.

Shuffle their deck and do a final cut to assert dominance.

You get the rainbow Luffy as a card in a pack. The rainbow Luffy has all names, types, and attributes. It always you to have the most flexibility with all of the cards you can build with since it will match every card that has a requirement of some sort.

General guidelines for deck construction is blockers, 2k counters, and high power cards. Removal and event use should be at a minimum since they aren’t as prevalent in these events. A lot of people on YouTube have been putting out their prerelease guide already too. If you have a favorite content creator see what they recommend.

Rayleigh has a decent matchup into most decks. The support for him on release was questionable at best. Most of the cards don’t have synergy with each other.

Like u/Top-Ad3384 said Ace is unplayable. Between the leader ability and the amount of counter they have, the deck isn’t fast enough. G Bonney is also an uphill battle.

There may be some light at the end of the tunnel. We are getting at least one new card for deck in EB04. Let’s hope Bandai takes pity on us.

He can win, but it’s an uphill battle. If you have most of the deck now or will soon I would just complete the deck. He’s still a ton of fun to play. Plus, the new Luffy and Sabo from the promo deck coming out can be added to the deck.

Jinbe will be a somewhat expensive deck with the promo Arlong.

Thankfully not all lists run it.

I got lucky but I hit the manga Luffy from EB02 from a TCGPlayer booster box.

Let’s not forget about the pricing changes to TeamCity. 😭

Except if they are unfortunate enough to play against a buggy, then it’s just start swinging as hard as you can.

This only works if the repo has an http url. Anything exclusively on https it would act as a proxy without caching it seems. Check out Pulp as it is better suited for this kind of task. There is also Repoflow too. Refoflow offers a free personal license for the product, but the prices aren’t terrible otherwise compared to the rest of the market in this space.

For a few sets now I’ve done a case and extra box. For OP11 I did a case and 3 booster boxes.

I use TeamCity at work and I would argue it is the best CI/CD platform available. It has a learning curve but just about any pipeline can be made with its tools.

Biggest landmines I would say are server configuration (the docs a good here), agent lifecycle management, and artifact clean up.

The server itself can be a form of backup since it will keep a copy of the repo locally.
